Colheita Selecionada Tinto - Cabriz

The Colheita Selecionada Tinto from Cabriz in Beiras displays a bright, purple-red color in the glass. With a little time in the glass, this Old World red wine reveals wonderfully expressive aromas of mulberry, blueberry, blackberry and blackcurrant, rounded off by black tea, gingerbread spice and oriental spices contributed by the barrel aging.

The Cabriz Colheita Selecionada Tinto presents itself to the connoisseur pleasantly dry. This red wine never appears coarse or austere, as one might expect from a wine in the upper entry-level price range. On the finish, this wine from the Beiras wine-growing region, which has good aging potential, delights with a beautiful length. Once again, nuances of blackcurrant and blackberry appear.

Vinification of the Cabriz Colheita Selecionada Tinto

This well-balanced red wine from Portugal is vinified from the Aragones, Alfrocheiro and Touriga Nacional grape varieties. After hand-picking, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation for several months in French oak barrels.

Food recommendation for the Cabriz Colheita Selecionada Tinto
